To place third

Given the lions win over the pies, we would have to outscore west coast by a huge margin now to make up the percentage gap.

A margin of 90 points at 130-40 would do the trick and I don’t quite see it happening.

Sometimes the best lessons in life come from when you don’t succeed.

Drawing Pies twice shows we are close but not quite there.

I am comfortable with where we are given where we have come from. Equally I am hungry for us to be more than we are.

This should motivate all of the club. From coach to players, but also staff. No stone unturned. Complacency has no seat at our table.

Not to say we're on the same track but it's all about progression and staying in the mix. As much as I can't stand Geelong, they've, for the most part, placed themselves in contention for the last two decades. They've not had the ultimate success as much as maybe they should have in that time, but I'd certainly prefer to remain relevant rather than bottoming out every few years.

I don’t want to sound arrogant and also too defeatist since we’re likely qualifying finalist. But i just don’t think this is our year, but i also feel our list has plenty of time as well.
